Second Childhood? I'm going there

I guess it all started with my hatred of shoes especially in the hot months. I went without shoes so much that the hillbillys were making fun of me. Then I started agreeing with people on facebook-yes, taking the bra off at the end of the day was one of the best feelings ever. And on the weekends-why bother? So on my day off, I consider it a major accomplishment that I put on something other than pjs before noon. I had to go to the store and it wasn't Walmart so pjs are kinda frowned upon. Once home, I started to change back into pjs and it occurred to me that I really didn't want to put them on either. Where is it written you have to clothes on? I brushed my teeth and my hair -shouldn't that be enough?  Relax-I put pjs back on (Lauren's coming over after work). Excuse me while I  go take my nap.

Dwight's Bday gift

Ok I'm a little a late posting this, but he has the fuel cap and drive cover to match.

Just sayin' this is easy to sing to

Bikes, Blues, and BBQ

This past weekend Fayetteville hosted their annual Bikes, Blues, and BBQ. Last year there were over 100,000 bikes-and this year topped even that. I can't believe the number of bikes and the rumbling of Harleys. You see lots of interesting people. The Lone Ranger and his side kick Tonto showed up on Dickson Street. The vibration from the noise was enough that I couldn't feel my phone go off. There was a man with a purple goatee that matched his bike. I didn't realize that they made motorcycle helments for dogs. The weather was wonderful and I got my first pin for my leather vest. There was a photographer set up in Eureka Springs taking pictures of bikes as they went by-after looking at several thousand pictures of bikes-I finally found ours...

Happy Birthday Robyn

 Happy Birthday to my younger sister Robyn. You see I have a younger sister and a baby sister and today is "younger's" birthday. Of course, I hope she has the best birthday ever-with lots of cake and fun. I kinda/sorta talked to her via social media, and I did tell her I loved her, but not how much. I didn't tell her how proud I am of her-she does so much juggling a career and family(kids that are really hers and those she adopts). I love that my kids call me with questions and tell me to call and ask "Aunt Robyn" what she thinks. I love that she takes good care of herself and those around her. May she have the best day ever !

Twerking to Beth and Lauren

  I've really tried to understand the whole concept of "Twerking" and I just don't get it. It's not sexy. It's not attractive. It doesn't look fun, but I think having the "Bell Butt" just might make it something I could do-if I am forced -that is. So please don't make me girls.

Letting go-been there

Someone asked me the other day if I was ready to let my oldest daughter go-because she's getting married. Truth is I let her go awhile back. It's not as if I had a choice or anything. She joined the military and moved on with her life. Sure, I get to take part ever so often but by the time she was 18 she was an adult-all of my kids were. So when she's "given" away at the wedding- it will mean that's really becoming part of another family. Starting her own. I guess I could be nervous for her-but really I think she has a good head on her shoulders in spite of her upbringing. When I cry (not even an if), it will be tears of joy. That she loves someone enough to want to spend the rest of her life with him-and he feels the same way. I hope the day is perfect. I hope the couple feels how much they are loved. My little girl has been gone a long time now. I've watched her become a woman. Now, I get to watch her become a wife. Nothing I can say can prepare her, but what a wonderful crazy ride.

Argument for Assault guns

OK.OK. I know the ordinary person doesn't need an assault weapon, but there are exceptions to every rule. Let's say a person wanted to kill a large number of coyotes that had killed a dozen chickens and a couple of precious turkeys and were around her horses. Realistically, you couldn't reload fast enough if they decided to charge. They are pack animals-wild and unpredictable. Kinda like a mildly, irrational female.

Happy Anniversary Dwight

Three years today.... I married one of my best friends. Hard to believe it's just been three years when I can't imagine my life without you. Thanks for trusting, believing, and loving me the way that you do...
